WiFi or Zigbee? Which technology is best for your smart home?
❓ What is the difference between WiFi and Zigbee?
Answer: WiFi devices connect directly to your wireless network and do not require an additional gateway. Zigbee instead uses its own Mesh network and requires a Zigbee Gateway to communicate with the Stonehouse Smart app. WiFi is great for cameras and relays, while Zigbee is ideal for sensors and larger smart homes.
❓ Do I need a Zigbee Gateway?
Answer: Yes. To use Zigbee products, you need a Stonehouse Smart Zigbee Gateway. The gateway connects to your router and acts as the hub that allows all Zigbee devices to communicate with each other and with the Stonehouse Smart app.
❓ Do WiFi products need a gateway?
Answer: No. WiFi products connect directly to your existing WiFi network and do not require a separate gateway or hub.
❓ Can I use WiFi and Zigbee at the same time?
Answer: Yes. Stonehouse Smart is designed to support both WiFi and Zigbee products in the same app. Many people choose to combine the technologies to create a flexible and future-proof smart home.
❓ Why does Zigbee have such a long battery life?
Answer: Zigbee sensors are in sleep mode most of the time and only activate when they need to send information, such as movement, temperature changes or when a door is opened. This provides very low power consumption and long battery life.
❓ How does Zigbee Mesh work?
Answer: Many Zigbee devices powered by 230V act as repeaters and send the signal to the next device. In this way, a Mesh network is built that provides better coverage and higher stability the more fixed Zigbee devices are installed.
❓ Which Zigbee devices work as repeaters?
Answer: Most Zigbee devices that are powered by 230V, such as relay modules, dimmers, smart plugs and wall switches, normally work as repeaters. Battery-powered sensors usually do not work as repeaters.
❓ How long is the range of Zigbee?
Answer: The range is affected by walls, building materials and other obstacles. Typically, the range is about 10 to 25 meters indoors between two Zigbee devices. Thanks to Mesh technology, the total coverage can be significantly greater when more devices are installed.
❓ Is WiFi or Zigbee best?
Answer: It depends on the application. WiFi is an excellent choice for cameras, relays, energy metering and products that need direct internet connection. Zigbee is best suited for sensors, automation and larger installations where long battery life and stable communication are important.
❓ What is Stonehouse Smart?
Answer: Stonehouse Smart is a growing ecosystem for smart homes where WiFi and Zigbee products work together in the same app. The range is continuously developing and includes smart lighting, electrical control, cameras, security, climate, irrigation and other smart solutions for homes and businesses.
